Yesterday, I facilitated a session called “The High Cost of Caring” to kick off MD Andersons Caregiver Week activities. Susannah Fox of the Pew Research Center, said, “More health care is happening at home…as more people are being sent home medically fragile to caregivers who are the first line of defense.” Four in 10 U.S. adults are caregivers, 86% care for relatives, 66% are female, and 70% report work-life-balance difficulties. The participant stories brought tears, laughter, and a spirit of comradery shared because caring gives life its deepest significance and meaning. Don’t miss an opportunity to care today!
